In order to install it you have to download the Thematic Theme (from which this child theme inherits all of the functionality), upload both themes (Early Morning and Thematic) to your server in the themes folder AND THEN ACTIVATE the Early Morning Theme.

OK, this is my first testing. As much as I love your backgrounds, I thought the gray was better for my subtle photographs. This blog is very much a beginning, including the logo, but thought I’d give you a peek. I feel so lucky to have found such a classic, slightly romantic, perfect background for my art. Now I have to figure out how to do all the sidebar stuff. Thanks!

This theme is quite exquisite and it’s going to be perfect for a niche I’m planning to do – once I sort out a few teething troubles! At the moment I’ve put it on a sub-domain (http://arthemiamirror.japanesemapleguide.com/) that I use as a test bed for layouts and new plugins for an existing site, so there are just random posts, etc, on there.

The main problem is the header logo – the site is on Hostgator and all folder permissions are 755. I’ve changed the permissions to 777 on the uploads folder and all folders below that, in this case 2009 and 08. The file I want to use uploads to the 09 folder ok using your form but nothing appears on the page. Am I missing something here? Do permissions for higher level folders have to be changed as well, do file names have to be all lower case or no gaps? While I can always put a logo image in the index top widget area, I’d rather use that for something else and do it properly.

The next problem is drop caps. I think they are extremely elegant when used correctly but unfortunately in the Early Morning Child Theme they are surrounded by a visible box that draws attention to the excessive gap between the drop cap and the rest of the word. Is it possible to make the box width variable depending on the letter and also to remove it?

My third problem is the drop down page menu – the box containing the sub heading is excessively wide and goes over the boundary; you can see it when you click on ‘contact’. Can these boxes be made smaller or at least give them a transparent background?

If you can help me in any way it would be much appreciated as this is probably the best free ‘premium’ theme I’ve ever come across!

Still working on my own child-theme in Thematic in my spare time (nearly none) and determined to make a go of it. If I were to ever just grab a ready-made theme and be done with it, it would be “Early Morning”.

Cristi:
I have been through testing dozens of themes. I will state without shame all free at this point as I would not invest in anything until I was totally comfortable (and a little more ‘flush. I am amazed at the creativity of yourself – and a few of your peers – and the outstanding themes they release for free.

This is, without a doubt, one of the most simple, yet elegant designs I have found – and the simplicity of changing the backgrounds is unique I believe. Many strive for this, you have nailed it! (IMHO).

Your title is a bit to long. However you can modify the css so it accommodates a longer one.

Open the file style.css inside Early child theme and search for the declaration #blog-title . Inside it change the width: 335px to 400px and also the declaration #access, change the width from 500px to 400px… See if that helps and let me know!

Nice theme! We’re using it for our family blog. Noticing an issue, though. The built-in WordPress 2.8.4 Gallery formats odd. We select “5” and we get 3 on one row, two on the next. Select “2” and we get a single column…etc. No changes have yet been made to the theme and the same thing occurs when all plug-ins are disabled (just Auto Thickbox and Lifestream so far.)

I reported the same issue to Hybrid maker, Justin Tadlock, and he said the problem is from invalid XML in the Gallery module. Justin suggested I load the plugin he wrote, “Cleaner Gallery” and that worked.

i love this theme and am hoping to use it for my new blog but am having troubles with the banner image. i’ve uploaded it but it isn’t all centered, it’s all wonky. you can see it here:http://lulumarais.com

The upload is for your logo. If you want to change the banner just replace the image: ‘earlymorning/images/branding_bg.png’ and make sure it’s exactly Width: 940px Height: 115px. After that upload an 1px by 1px transparent gif file in the back end. That should do the trick!

Cristi — I realize this is most likely a total newbie question but where do I replace my banner for the logo? Not sure which part of the editor to do so in. My other blog uses the ProPhoto blog themes and apparently is much easier to fiddle around with (at least for me!).

I doubt you can do that from the theme editor. The best way to do it would be using FTP, connecting to your hosting server and then replace the branding_bg.png file inside wp-content/themes/earlymorning/images.

Now that I think about it you could upload your header (make sure it’s exactly Width: 940px Height: 115px. ) in the Media Library. Copy the url to that image and then open the theme editor -> style.css and search for #branding. After you find it replace

messing around with the css is not worth it, but i would like to at least increase the font size and increasing it to 14 px in the style.css doesnt seem to make a difference is there something else i should do?

Above someone posted this question…”how can i increase the width of the reading area a bit? and decrease the right sidebar width?”… you answered that you have to go though the ccs and modify it. I would like to do this…so what exactly do I have to change?

Hi! I love this theme and I am currently using it for the site I am building for a client. The problem is though that I can’t get the logo to show up at all. I’ve changed the write permissions for the uploads folder and all of the subfolders. But I am still getting a red x. How do I get the image to work?

I also love this theme. Is there any reason as to why adding a caption to an image within WordPress removes the grey outline borders from the images? Can I have a caption and the border? If so, how can I change this? Thx.

Thanks Cristi. Any news with this? Sorry to be a pain. I was also wondering whether there is a way of indenting the ‘description’ text for the categories. It currently sits flush with the left border when a category is selected. Thanks for the great theme. It’s actually working really well for me.

I am using the Early Morning on one of my blogs and I have a slight issue. In the sidebar, everything seems to align nicely in the lists except for the blogroll widget. There is too much space between the links and it just looks funny. The other widgets for recent comments, archives and etc are fine – nicely spaced above and below each one. But again, the blogroll widget seems to have extra spacing. I can’t seem to find anything in the css that is out of place.

Hi, I am using the Early Morning Theme and it’s great. I was wondering how to limit posts to the excerpt when they appear on the home page. I entered an excerpt, but the home page always shows the full post.

Hi, I really love your theme…But I am using Blogger platform…So, i managed to convert this theme to Blogger version and I successfully converted it. Yahooooo!!! I gave a credit/link at the footer and in the theme to you in that template. Pls have a look at this blogger version of your Wonderful theme….

i saw somebody say this earlier, but i’m a total newb and i’m struggling to install the child theme. i have no problem uploading thematic, and when i activate it, it works just fine. i uploaded early morning and it uploaded great, but when i pressed activate, it says the theme is broken. i think you said there was an extra file somewhere? maybe? what should i do? i’ve been playing around with this for hours now!

With the Early Morning Child theme on, the “Join Group” button only displays as a link (not a button) and it does nothing. If I click it, it disappears and does nothing. I can join groups with the default theme on though.

The theme is awesome. I did a lot of searching for a very simple two column, customizable theme that will provide an easy base for my website. The Early Morning theme is just the one I needed. Though I plan on editing the CSS later on, it works so well right out of the box.

I really dont know what happend but it’s not showing the pages at the top of the blog!
It was working fine when I installed it a few months ago.
I dont know when the problem startd ’cause i just realized it today.

When I downloaded your beautiful Early Morning Theme I got this message:
Warning: unlink(www.aroundtheworldinholidayhomes.com/wp-content/uploads/earlymorning.zip) [function.unlink]: No such file or directory in /wp-admin/includes/class-wp-upgrader.php on line 155

It then says installation has gone through succesfully, but I do not see any preview in the Dashboard and if I activate it, the page is all messed up. Does it mean the Theme is not supported on latest WP version or is there something else I should know to make it work properly?
Thank you so much for an answer Ciao!

I love your beautiful theme and would like to use it as a framework for my latest project. Is there anyway that I can fix it to work with the latest version of thematic? I’m still a little new to WP customization. Thank you for your hard work on this! I know you are busy with the 80+ comments from us babies.

Hi.
I love this theme!
But i have one question about full width pages. How can i make Full Width page actually fullwidth from side to side, now i just have some space left on right side of the page (i took all the widget’s off and select Full Width in template option when creating pages)?
Sorry..my english is not perfect..
Hope to get the answer.

The answer to this is probably pretty obvious (especially as I’ve done it once before myself) it’s just not coming to me at the moment!

I am using Early Morning & previously I had replaced the blog title in the header with an image of my logo, but today after making a small change to the image I tried to upload the new image and cannot get it to work.

The logo is an Illustrator file that I save using ‘save for web & devices’ & I have tried saving the image as a .GIF .PNG and .JPG but nothing works.

I am uploading the image using the ‘Early Morning Theme Option’ contraol panel under Appearance.

Sorry for the simple question but I can’t for the life of me figure this out.

i tried this theme, its really wonderful especially when you read in the morning, that freshness we can feel in your theme. But i would really appreciate your help, if you could help me to remove the tags from main page and each posts, it is really making the page dirty with lots of tags. Thank you for reading this 😉

wow, the way of coding is entirely different from a normal theme, may be that’s why I have always difficulty in working with Theme Frameworks. i tried, but no luck. It still shows all Tags after each post, on Main Page and Single Posts.

your code works.first time when I tried I was testing the result in Firefox. But in Chrome it works. Firefox need to clear all the cache to refresh with new code. Chrome in always instant. Anyway Thank you so much for your kind help.

I have another question – I’m finding the date listing with the “{” symbol that pushes the text in the post area to be limiting. Can you point out the bit of coding with modifies that? I wasn’t sure if it was possible to condense it slightly to make better use of space.

I think you didn’t install the theme correctly. Basically you need to put both themes Thematic and EarlyMorning in the themes folder. I think you copied Early Morning over Thematic or something like that.

I am using the Early Morning child theme but the header of my website says “Early Morning”. I cannot figure out how to change it. I do not want to add a different image, I would just like to change the text to show the title of my website.

Any help appreciated as I really love the look of the theme and would hate to have to go looking for another that I like nearly as well.

By the way, I had to change the theme on this blog until I hear back from you about this. I also left a question in the forum but there has been no response for several days.
I REALLY want to use the Early Morning child theme.

This theme is amazing.
I’m using WordPress 3.1, Thematic 0.9.7.8 and EarlyMorning 0.3 but the theme doesn’t show correctly. Some bacground images (from the CSS stype) doesn’t show correctly. The webside for the tests is: http://taoterapias.es/blog/

To install the theme and Thematic I’ve downloaded both, then I’ve unzipped and copied them to wp-content/themes/

Hi, I am loving your theme for my new travel blog, but I was wondering if your theme allows vertical and horizontal photos to be centered and in a decent sized around 550X600, you can see what I am trying to say at my first attempted at http://indochinamonamour.tumblr.com/
Thanks so much.

Any idea when activating (yes Thematic is already installed) I get errors such as these?

Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/content/96/8175296/html/wp-content/themes/earlymorning/functions.php:417) in /home/content/96/8175296/html/wp-includes/functions.php on line 861

I just now redownloaded the zip file. When i go to the wp admin page of my site this is what I get:

Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/content/36/8319736/html/wp-content/themes/earlymorning/functions.php:417) in /home/content/36/8319736/html/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 934
